M. M. I. A. for October, Supt. L. A. Romney says: "I feel encouraged with our M. I. A. work, and we expect to make considerable improvement in Scout work. Our average here cannot be excelled in the Church. With a population of 280 souls in the ward, we have an average attendance of 87, about 32 per cent of the population. For class work, for community singing, individ- ual participation, etc., the average is on just as high a plane as our at- tendance." We congratulate our Mexican officers for their splendid showing, and, remembering their difficulties, we commend them highly for their efficiency as shown by thiir report.
